The council had earlier condemned the visit, describing it as unauthorised and a violation of palace protocol. It also summoned Peller to appear before a committee of chiefs and warned that the queen who received him on behalf of the palace could face disciplinary action, including possible removal.
However, in a statement shared by his management on Instagram on Thursday, Peller maintained that the visit was properly arranged through official channels and was never intended to disrespect the culture or traditions of the Benin Kingdom.
The statement explained that Peller’s team had submitted a formal request to the palace ahead of the visit, which was acknowledged. They were, however, informed that the Oba of Benin would not be available at the time of the visit.
According to the management, the TikToker remains committed to promoting Nigerian culture and would never deliberately undermine the heritage he seeks to showcase globally.
The statement read in part:
“We would like to sincerely address the concerns surrounding Peller’s recent visit to the Benin Kingdom. First and foremost, we acknowledge the deep cultural significance of the Benin Kingdom and extend our utmost respect to its traditions, heritage and people.
“Peller and his team, with the facilitation of Uyiekpen Ogiefa, son of Chief Courage Uyi Ogiefa, the N’ozeben of the Benin Kingdom, formally submitted a letter on February 23rd to the palace requesting a courtesy visit scheduled for March 3rd, later moved to March 6th (letter attached).
“Ahead of the visit, the team was informed that the Oba would not be available. However, they were still warmly received at the palace by Uyiekpen Ogiefa, palace chiefs, and were guided through the palace while learning about its history and traditions.
“This was fully respected and the visit proceeded accordingly. However, we understand that some moments may have been perceived differently. We sincerely clarify that there was no intention to cause disrespect, and any missteps were unintentional, possibly due to excitement and the warm reception.
“Peller is deeply passionate about promoting Nigerian culture and would never intentionally disrespect the heritage he values and showcases to the world. We acknowledge any misunderstanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
The statement added that the team appreciates the feedback and continued support from the public.
